Tips for gardening as we age.

[Raymondo]

What changes in your gardening style, equipment etc. have you made that worked and didn't work as you age.

Actually making and turning compost , I never seem to get the time to do it, so my kitchen scraps go to a worm bed, and can those little suckers eat ! Sheet layering on my beds is about the best I have time for and let the garden worms do the turning. I never turn my soil just aerate it a little with a fork , somewhat contrary to my earlier post but I have plenty of other projects to compete before I get that sort of spare time , happy gardening cheers Raymondo

I've used several knee pads and have found that this type, made of EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), or the gel kind, were a life-saver for my arthritic, "velcro" knees!
